NAME

SYNOPSIS

To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel
configuration file:
devicemiibusdevicehme
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in
loader.conf(5):
if_hme_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

The hme driver supports Sun Microelectronics STP2002-STQ “Happy Meal Ethernet” Fast Ethernet
interfaces.
All controllers supported by the hme driver have TCP checksum offload capability for both
receive and transmit, support for the reception and transmission of extended frames for
vlan(4) and a 128-bit multicast hash filter.

NOTES

On sparc64 the hme driver respects the local-mac-address? system configuration variable
which can be set in the Open Firmware boot monitor using the setenv command or by eeprom(8).
If set to “false” (the default), the hme driver will use the system's default MAC address
for all of its devices. If set to “true”, the unique MAC address of each interface is used
if present rather than the system's default MAC address.
Supported interfaces having their own MAC address include on-board versions on boards
equipped with more than one Ethernet interface and all add-on cards except the single-port
SBus versions.
